Less than 1% of criminal charges are aired in open court meaning 99% of those charged forego their day in court, just the way the state likes it. For those charged with non-violent/victimless crimes NEVER TAKE A PLEA, clog up the system, make it collapse under it’s own weight. America, land of the free with the highest pure number and highest incarceration rate on earth! America, 4% of world’s population, 24% of world’s prison population. Our system of (in)justice is hopelessly broken. It’s time to institute jury nullification for non-violent/victimless crimes!

Thank you for the well wishes. :) I’d love to take credit for “hate-on,” but that one didn’t originate with me. Yes, I’m good with leaving Linda Tripp to God, but afraid I’m not familiar with the Murdock situation.

For me, the Simpson analogy is overused and given far too much signifcance as an example of justice thwarted. It was simply an incompetent prosecution, and that’s what happens when people fail to do their jobs. In that case, the prosecution bungled the evidence. In this situation, no evidence exists. No one has found a money trail leading from Auburn to Cam Newton–and not for lack of trying. In the absence of any evidence of wrongdoing, the Auburn fanbase–who wouldn’t have been responsible anyway–deserve to enjoy their title in peace.

I was on my iPhone. I apologize for not hitting spell check for you. I should have known the ‘grammar police” in you would have come out. I’ve heard of Eric Murdock. Does that make him a bad person because he never knew his father? I know plenty of people who never knew there father and they are just fine. And as usual, you go to the extreme to try and make a point about Auburn. Comparing the Cam Newton alleged incident to OJ murdering people is a bit ridiculous. But I like that you continue to try and make an excuse for the asswhipping you took in the SEC title game. “Auburn cheated” Blah, Blah, Blah. You’re pathetic.

You say: “No, I don’t believe things were quite kosher where Newton was concerned…..But no one can prove that.”

I agree with your intuition. The jury in the Simpson murders did not believe the evidence and he was found “Not Guilty”. But in the eyes of the public, OJ was guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. I believe that to be the case with Cam Newton and I feel Auburn’s NC was not legitimately earned. Nor do I feel Auburn was ever reprimanded. Now we see Selena Roberts (not particularly fond of her either…but the enemy of your enemy is your friend sometimes) expose some serious issues within the Auburn football family. I would like to see that fully flushed out b/c that brings negative publicity to Auburn. Linda Tripp is a monster and the supreme being above has plans for folks like her….and Eric Murdock. BTW, love the term “hate-on”…I think you coined a new phrase. Nice job. The Gamecocker

Another fine SEC “graduate” using the degree he “earned” from his SEC school. Yeah, after college doesn’t matter. See what happens when you go to an SEC school as a “student” athlete? Well, I guess the SEC graduates will continue to keep the prison guards employed!

Yep, just like those B1G graduates Maurice Clarett and Art Schlister, right packerbadger?

We’ve had this conversation before, and even as a Bama fan, I’m never going to understand this hate-on you have for Auburn. No, I don’t believe things were quite kosher where Newton was concerned. But no one can prove that, so everyone needs to let it go. I’m okay with letting it go because Newton was a superior athlete and Auburn did beat us on the field of play. It’s not like anyone deflated the footballs, rigged the scoreboard, or put in a ringer from Lombardi’s Packers. And if someone did pay him, I can guarantee you that wasn’t engineered by Coach Chizik. That would have come from someone well above his pay grade. Otherwise, I haven’t heard anything yet that lends credibility to Roberts’s story.

As for your other comments, I thought what Linda (not Debbie) Tripp did was despicable, but as a cancer survivor myself would not wish that on anyone. As far as I know, she had a cancer battle several years ago and is living quietly with her family today running a Christmas shop.

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 02:25:49 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=243415#comment-129713Haha….some things never change. I see gamecocker’s inexplicable hatred for Auburn is still going strong. He thinks if he wishes it enough (Auburn on probation), it will happen.

While I frequently doubted Chizik’s ability as a head football coach, I never had any reason to question his character. I could be wrong but I find it difficult to believe that the things alleged in Roberts’ article happened under Chizik.

Nah, I certainly do not condone what Coach Rice did last year. But, he paid a price emotionally, financially, and he has been humiliated in the press. After all. isn’t that where most trials take place these days anyway? Eric Murdock is most likely someone you’ve never heard of. He never knew his father and he grew up under his grandma-ma with about 9 other wonderfully “successful” children. And you should really use spell check because you can’t even spell crotch….but you are an Auburn grad so I’m not that surprised. BTW, can you say the word “PROBATION”…..?

You never cease to amaze me. You’re bitterness continues to show. There are times as an Auburn Grad, I’d like to see the NCAA strip the title, just to see your reaction. You have issues. Eric Murdock? You must condone Mr. Rice’s actions. That says a lot about you sir. Good day.

It’s Auburn….it’s a Chizik recruit….it’s a bogus NC…..it’s being terribly frustrated with the firing of Tim Pernetti at Rutgers because of a low-life vengeful piece of garbage named Eric Murdock. A Pontius Pilate if ever there was one. A money-grabbing thug much like the now cancer ridden Debbie Tripp who turned in Monica Lewinsky. Who anyone has sexual tryst with is no one elses business unless it is criminal….

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 17:35:35 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=243415#comment-129685This guy lied to try to get his case postponed and the story admitted in and new details in the case. Once the judge said he was not postponing the trial for any new evidence based on a FALSE story then this dummy accepted the plea deal. He could had been a back up in the nfl somewhere but instead he is sitting in prison. awesome choice.

I know how you feel about Auburn. But declarations made on the way to prison do not carry the same legal weight as dying declarations. We have no reason to believe this guy’s statements to Roberts (assuming he actually made those statements to Roberts) were true because he was facing prison and had nothing left to lose. Our prisons are filled with people who continue to lie despite having nothing left to lose.

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:13:42 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=243415#comment-129680“He must serve at least three years in prison.” Just think, if he would have spent three years in college getting an education, this may have never happened.
